+ Actin filaments bend and twist in response to mechanical forces, storing elastic energy. Bent actin filaments + are found in diverse cellular structures, where this elastic energy can be used to do mechanical work. +
The helical structure of actin filaments results in the coupling of filament twisting and bending, - which impacts the structure of the actin network in 3D space. - This has implications for actin's function in force production and maintainance of subcellular structures. + which impacts the geometry of the actin network in 3D space. This influences how actin networks respond to + and participate in subcellular force production.
